Product + Packaging

Yes! From raw lumber to cutting, hand sanding, engraving, and shipping, our small team does it all from our red barn woodshop on the Minnesota prairie.

We infuse music, breaks for playing with the dogs, and lots of coffee and dark chocolate into our workdays.

You receive high quality, expertly crafted gifts made by people who love what we do and have fun doing it!

We offer three (plastic-free!) options for packaging:

1. Packaged in bulk (All of block #1 together, all of block #2 together, all trays together, etc.)

2. Preassembled (Sets are preassembled for you, wrapped in biodegradable brown kraft paper. Not intended for presentation/gifting.)

3. Gift wrapped (Sets are preassembled and individually wrapped in biodegradable tissue paper, sealed with a "Three Trees Planted" sticker.)

A large tray with one layer of blocks on it measures 8.75" x 2" x 2".

Adding a second layer of blocks makes your set about 1.4" taller.
